Default Re: GM/Chrysler Merger

Right ......Wrong......Or??..........On the Power Tour in 06 I met a Retired GM Exec.....Alan was in Charge of all advertising for GM.........His take at that time was that the Union was to be a Major Issue in the Future demise of GM.........He told of the Nonsense that the Union put the Company thru.......An example........He was shooting a Commercial and had a Model (the Size of a Shoebox) specifically built for it.....It was completed and delivered one day before (Tight Schedule) the scheduled Shooting of the Commercial.......The Problem is that it was delivered to the Office next to Allan's........He was not allowed to go to the next Office and retrieve the Box.....(It weighed about 10 pounds)......He had to go thru the Union and Schedule a Material Handling person to come and get the Box and bring it into his Office (Next Door).....Well.....The next day everyone had arrived and were setting up the Equipment for the shoot and the Box was still in the next office and a Material Handler was nowhere to be seen.......Allan had had enough and went into the Office and got the Package ( 5 minutes before the start of filming).......Seems the Material handler was just out of eyesight watching what was going on and when he got the Package and moved it....All Hell broke loose and there were Union guy's all over and everything had to come to a "Dead Stop"....until this "Union Crisis" was corrected...
Again.......I'm just passing along the Story.......But.......We need people to work "With" their employers rather than "For" them........
